Have you tried to play title 2 and 3 ? I supose one of them is the
audio-only part. If not then it's more like a bug or missing feature
from libdvdread.

I don't think so. The dvd stream should be able to handle the audio
only case. However as mplayer was a "movie only" player their
may still be some code to make dvd opening fail if no video is found
on the title.
So i think the stream part should work with few or no changes, however
the demuxer part may be more problematic.

I don't know what you exactly mean. I suppose 24bit samples encoded at
96 or 192kbps. But with wich codec ? If it's AC3 or PCM that shouldn't
be a problem.
Anymay if the requiered codec is alredy existing or not is a
secondary problem as we must first get the data up to the codec ;)
